This Monoclonal antibody A9E4 reacts with GnRH receptors in the anterior pituitary. A9E4 showed specificity for the synthetic peptide in ELISA and Dot blot, it has a higher affinity for the antigen than the GnRH receptor antibody clone F1G4 (Cat.-No. AM32064PU-N). A9E4 specifically stains human GnRH receptors on frozen tissue of the anterior pituitary. Recognition was supported by Western blotting.

Synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino acids 1-29 of the Human GnRH receptor extracellular domain conjugated to BSA. Splenocytes were fused with SP2/0 mouse myeloma cells. Stability was established by subcloning four times.
Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) receptor is a protein of 54-60 kDa. GnRH receptor contains seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains connected by hydrophilic extracellular and intracellular loops characteristic of G-protein coupled receptors. GnRH stimulates the gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary to secrete luteinizing hormone (LH) as well as follicle-stimulated hormone (FSH). The receptor contains of seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains connected by hydrophillic extracellular, and intracellular loops characteristic of G-protein coupled receptors.Synonyms: GRHR, GnRH-R, Gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor
